The toy looks really good. In the store you can press on the toys hand for a demo. This kind of gives you the impression that when you get the toy out of the packaging and press its foot for the actual dance sequence it will be longer than the demo sequence. NOT!!! The songs and dances are just as short as the demo. This takes a bit of the fun out of it for my 2-year old daughter. If you are used to toys like the hokey-pokey elmo that actually have a substantial performance that your child can participate in without having to stop and press the toy every ten seconds, this is not the toy to buy! The toy is cute and it seems sturdy. If your child is a BoohBah fan they might enjoy this toy like a stuffed animal that they can drag around. The electronic component is dissapointing.

My two sons get a kick out of this toy, but I wish it weren't so darned loud. It's also on the expensive side for what it is--I agree with the other reviewer who said there could've been more bells and whistles, especially for a show that's supposed to be geared toward educating older toddlers.

This toy is friggin' awesome. Have you ever watched the show? These guys fly by farting!!!!! Then they make a toy that does the exact same thing!!! Press his hand and you are treated to a sweet melodious voice calling out Booh-Bah!! Then it rises and hPFFFFTHHBF!!! It blows a wet one and stands up. Isn't that awesome??!!! The educational value is excellent as it teaches you a deeper respect for this great show!! And they're durable as heck too. We desperately needed a football and it was the closest thing we had. Three games of hardcore football free-for-all and it still sang, farted and danced!!! A little victory jig for our winner, Gweedo. All in all you'll have a "blast", learn to appreciate British creativity, and play a mean game of hardcore football free-for-all!!

Peace out yo,

TROZ!

I go to great pains to review toys and I give alot of thought to educational value before purchasing but when I saw this boohbah at the store I thought so here is my one "junk" toy for Christmas. My 2 year old son loves it and the whole family gets a kick out of watching him react to it. Many reviewers were dissapointed in the short play time...HELLLLL0! How many times have you picked up a toy, pressed the play button and thought "how long is THIS going to go on"! I for one am relieved that my son can enjoy this toy and I don't have to listen to it for five minutes after he has walked away from it.

I would agree that this toy doesn't offer anything educational...but my 16 month old loves to dance with it. It's very entertaining to him and us! We have the orange boohbah and he is super cute! My son wiggles his head and pops up and down right along with him. He loves it! The noises crack us up! Great for a 1-2 year old who is at that "I love to dance" stage.

I wish I had read the reviews BEFORE purchasing this piece of junk! When my husband and I saw it in the store, it looked so cute, and we loved the demo. Well, once we bought it and got it home and out of the box, the real play was just as short as the demo! You literally have to keep squeezing his foot every 10 seconds to keep him going. I don't know about your kid, but mine refuses to do this. She'd rather just ignore the Boohbah and play with something more entertaining. Plus, even when you do press the button every 10 seconds, he basically does the same thing over and over. Not much variety at all! Buyer beware - RIP OFF!

The dancing boohbah is a combination of elegant dancing and hypnotic twitching. If I were more obsessed with my dancin' boohbah, I would have to be put into rehab. oorah for dancin' Zing Zing Zingbah. Three cheers! (i am an escaped mental patient)

My little sister got one for Christmas and one night she came into my room crying because she had a bad dream about a Boohbah. She said the Boohbah was trying to eat her. the next day we took the stupid Boohbah back to the store and traded it for a Bratz doll, which thank the lord! she isn't afraid of. Boohbah's are scary looking! My little sister is 7 but if you have a child thats a little younger i suggest My Little Pony or Disney Princess for them.

I can't believe people are actually buying these things. It's HILARIOUS, but not for the reason you'd expect. No, it's because of what these things LOOK like...I mean, seriously, people...

LOOK AT IT! It looks bad enough, but what it DOES is even more disturbing. On the moving, talking ones, you push their hand. So it sings "boooooohbaaaaaah" in this really CREEPY voice, and then it sits down and FARTS (I'm SERIOUS), and a song begins to play and it starts swiveling its head like something you'd see in an adult shop.

It's even worse than the vibrating Harry Potter broomstick toy that caused such a controversy a few years ago. This thing looks...well, just LOOK AT IT!

I woke up in the middle of the night screaming because a boobah was standing over me with a knife. I screamed as it sang BOOBAH BOOBAH BOOBAH over and over and over and over and over and over and over! AH! Its scary! My dog had a heart attack when he/she saw this. However the education is really high you won't beleive how educational this toy is.
